Timing[edit]

There was a contradiction between source 1 giving 4.55pm and source 2 5.02pm for the explosion (and within article text); I have added a 3rd source supporting the 5.02pm time (actually states "just after 5PM"), this was written by a local witness and published by the trust maintaining a memorial to the disaster. According to source 2 4.55pm was the time evacuation began. Baldy Bill (sharpen the razor|see my reflection) 14:40, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
